  1. Question No Cup Matches at Roots Hall

    When was the last time Roots Hall did not host either an FA Cup or League Cup tie at Roots Hall ? A few clues: Coronation Street had not started, the farthing was still legal tender, South Africa was part of the Commonwealth, no-one had flown in space and the Berlin Wall hadn't even been...

    Ireland ask for extra World Cup place

    According to a BBC article :D :D :D :D :D They must be joking surely? I felt sorry for them as much as anyone else after what happened but the fact remains that they would only have drawn the tie over two legs if the hand ball goal hadn't been scored. A replay wasn't possible so I don't see...

    Henry - A Great Big Woman

    Cheat. Liar. Criminal. Who would have thought that these would have been the words we would eventually associate with the much-loved, oft-celebrated Thierry Henry? Well, me, actually. For all the magnificence that he has shown on the pitch over the years, he has been like this for a few years...

    Barnard & McCormack

    Something that's been pointed out on SOL which hadn't occurred to me, but maybe has to some of you more cynical types - by sitting out Saturday would NOT be cup tied were they to leave in January. Oh dear, I feel quite gloomy. :darkcloud:

  5. The Scot Who Cried Wolf

    Sir Alex Ferguson, even more than he likes red wine, likes to moan about referee's. He does it so often now that many just ignore him, like the old relative at christmas who's hell bent on retelling his childhood. Well, Ferguson might actually have a point with his ranting this evening... It's...

    Memory Lane Episode No 1 Season 1931-32

    As I have posted previously I have an article printed in every official programme this season telling the story of Season 1931-32 in 23 episides. It has been pointed out to me that not everybody attendes every match and not everyone buys a programme, so I thought I would post them here again if...

    Scouting Mission

    Me & my partner decided to take a much needed long weekend away in the Cotswolds, this weekend just gone. Whilst she went shopping in Cheltenham, I went to watch the local lot play Sven's mercenaries, as its a ground I hadn't been to before. To cut a long story short, I was impressed with...

  8. Recession? Immigration? No, Women's Football!!

    The country is in a deep recession, masses remain unemployed, the National Health Service is understaffed and immigration is spiralling out of control. Forget all of that, The FA are not doing what they're told! Sports Minister Gerry Sutcliffe took precious time out of his schedule of claiming...

    SZ Novella - Chapter 8

    Chapter Eight - The Reduced Hypertherpia of the Closed Mancharia Osymandus pulled on a pair of heavy trousers and sucked the fetid air in through his teeth. Behind him, Rick Astley's body congealed silently on the floor, but of all the contributory factors to the awful smell in the room, he was...

    Pistol-Whip The Cheats

    Nothing irritates me more than diving. Seriously, it's right up there above noisy eating, people who play tinny R'n'B through their cellphones on the bus and that invisible scratch on my West Wing DVD that smashes straight through the important bit ten minutes into every episode when you're...

    The official WTF is going on thread

    Lets put things into perspective. We are lead to believe that the reason for our lack of financial clout is because we are building this super stadium. What a load of old sh 1t . Does anybody seriously beleive that we are going to ever see a brick layed? I dont believe it will happen in the...

    Things you do every year

    After York races last week, I was chatting with an Irish bloke on the way back to the train station. He was saying that him and his mates always came to this particular festival - in fact they hadn't missed a Ladies' Day for 22 years. Pretty impressive I thought, especially as they come over...

    One SUFC game/day you could erase from memory happily.

    Following on from my single best day/moment thread I am now asking for the single worst game you have ever endured. A day so bad you would gladly wipe it from your memory forever. Mine was Boston at home on a cold and wet Tuesday night. Probably about 2003/2004 time. The lead up to the game...

    A Bit of Fun Players wages

    I am not one to jump on the doom bandwagon or stir up trouble/controversy and am 100% behind RM and SUFC but was speaking to a guy at work today who went to school with Barney and still sees him. He piped up that Barney told him he hadn't been paid for 2 weeks. Now, whether Barney gets paid...

    The c*l ewe boys - Should we sign them?

    I know we haven't seen much of them yet but based on Saturdays performance and some of the pre-season games if you went, which of the 2 would you sign or would you sign both? Personally I think Matt Heath is a good centre back at this level and considering he hadn't played with Adam Barrett...

    Sven Will It Go Wrong?

    In 2001, in the wake of the dotcom crash, I lost my job. For 18 months, I had been the deputy shift leader of a surly band of financial journalists, charged with staying up all night and reviewing the first editions of the newspapers for a raft of corporate clients. It wasn't much, but it was a...

    Lessons Learned?

    The season starts in less than a month. Have we learned nothing? Go back twelve months. No left back, Bailey and Clarke out of contract, Gower gone and little in the way of positive news regarding transfers. With the season approaching fast, and pretty much all of the pre-season games out of...

    Scunny Risk It All For Promotion

    Irons Run Up Loss To Win Promotion Just read the article above, and I'm so glad we didn't do that. It's true that they're in the CCC next season, but if it hadn't come off it's not the way a club should be run. Also, I realise the loss was only £750,000, and we may well post a larger loss...

    Do you mates "disappear" when loved up?

    This is something that proper dawned on me on Saturday night. I was invited to Sky Bar in Bas Vegas, for beers and stupid dancing by two girls who I hadn't seen in 3 months, partly because one of them is loved up. I originally didn't want to go with just two girls as I didn't have a wingman...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Spencer Prior

    Four places (I think) left to fill and next up is Spencer Prior, albeit a day late in Ron Martin style. -------------------------------------------------- Separated by over a decade, Spencer Prior had two very different careers with Southend. Either would be sufficient to get him in the Hall of...
